A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

Yeah, but when I tried to use freecad in college just getting it to run and doing anything required python scripting. It is still very early days for freecad. It is going to take a while before you can use it without being familiar with how it performs constraint resolution, which if you are a pro CAD user, you should know that anyway.

It is a really difficult problem, and open source UI just hasn't caught up yet. I am currently pleasantly surprised with how far along freecad is.
